Abstract
This study aims at shedding light on teachers and learners attitudes towards the role of short stories in enriching vocabulary knowledge of EFL learners at Mila university Center. We hypothesized that incorporating short stories in an EFL class plays a considerable role in enriching the learners vocabulary knowledge. Two questionnaires have been delivered to both english teachers and learners to find out their attitudes towards the use of short stories as a technique for teaching vocabulary. The results obtained reveal that short stories do not only help learners to enrich their vocabulary knowledge, but also to develop their different language skills. Short stories have many benefits concerning learners motivation, understanding of literature and raising their cultural awareness. The results also revealed that both teachers and learners agree on the fact that having a considerable amount of vocabulary help learners communicate and express themselves effectively. Therefore, the results demonstrate in general that integrating short stories in the EFL class make the teaching/ learning process easier and more enjoyable.
